We already have people believing disinformation to the point of storming the Capital and dying by gunfire. I’d say the calamity has already arrived.

Yeah. Article reads to me as "Eventually, a calamity that will affect me".

Lots of people are already suffering: women who can't get medically necessary abortions, trans people who can't get care they need, etc. It's a calamity for their lives. It's the marginalized people who suffer first.
